He joined Enel in 2006 and has served in various roles around the world in business development, operations and maintenance, and engineering and construction, including nearly three years as country manager for Enel Green Power in Mexico.

He holds a degree in aerospace, aeronautics and astronautical engineering from the University of Rome La Sapienza and worked at NASA and private aerospace firms prior to his tenure at Enel.

Romanacci will take the helm as the operator of wind and solar plants executes on a growth strategy of adding 6.5 GW of new capacity by end of 2024. Currently, Enel has over 2.5 GW of new wind and solar capacity under construction in the U.S. and Canada, along with over 600 MW of battery storage capacity.

The company currently has a mature development pipeline of around 12 GW and is a key part of Enel’s global goal to achieve around 155 GW of installed renewable capacity by the end of the decade.
